This is getting into regex stuff, where maybe stackoverflow is a better
resource? But when you put characters into brackets, you are telling regex
to search for each character represented in the bracket. So [\d] is looking
for any single character that is either a \ or a d character. Outside of
brackets, regex evaluates \d as any digit. For US English charset [0-9] is
equivalent to \d I believe.
